'Benzene evaporates easily, and most people can just detect its distinctive smell at concentrations between 2.5 and 5 parts per million (ppm) in air.' (hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg329.… [PDF])

The longest exposure period for which there are recommended limits is 8 hours.

There's nothing to say what are the effects of being exposed to lower levels over 14 months, day and night.

Oops! Sorry.

I forgot cancer. And Anaemia.

Chronic exposure:

'The assumption is made that there is no threshold to such effects and that any
exposure results in some increase in risk, albeit this may be very small.'

Don't take my word for it:

Benzene also causes miscarriages.

Weasel words from Ealing Labour Council, who for six years have shown utter contempt for the health and wellbeing of Southall's schoolchildren forced to live in the toxic stink created by Berkeley Group's unsafe development of the old Gasworks site. 1/11

aroundealing.com/news/240000-in…
Take Blair Peach Primary School, adjacent to the highly contaminated old Gasworks site in Southall.

In 2016, Ealing Labour Council removed a functioning air quality monitor from the school grounds.

2/11
Shortly after, Berkeley Group began digging up the toxic land in the open air.

The head teacher of Blair Peach Primary School reported to the school governors very strong smells from the gasworks site caused headaches and asthma among staff and children.

Who wants to know more about how, twelve years ago, an exclusive group of rich, mostly white, middle aged men in suits planned to take advantage of the financial crash and austerity politics to sell Ealing's public land and buildings for profit like they were playing monopoly? ImageImageImageImage
A few familiar and influential names including, of course, the late Tony Pidgley of Berkeley Group and Southall Gasworks infamy.

A five year plan to sell off our public assets for £20m profit.

Not a single one of these men was elected to do so. ImageImageImageImage
Talking of Southall Gasworks.

Has Southall been successfully positioned to capitalise on opportunities arising from Asia? Image

Is anyone interested in seeing a selection of leaked WhatsApp group messages from some Ealing Labour councillors?

An inside look at what they really think about Bell, Mason, Sharma?

The institutional bullying and corruption they kept quiet for years?

#EalingLabourLeaks
A couple things before I get started.

My source has obviously said that it's ok to publish these.

I've edited the screenshots to remove some names. I don't want to embarrass people unnecessarily, or make them feel like they are being attacked.

Focus is on Labour leadership.
Also going to take it slow, so maybe more of a drip, drip drip than a full on Wikileaks style dump.

These are from unofficial Ealing Labour councilllor group chats from the time of current leader Mason's failed coup attempt in 2020, to his successful second attempt in 2021.

Questions for Cllrs @_petermason, @DrAyshaRaza, @jkblacker, @JasbirAnand2 and @kamnagpal on tackling inequalities, healthy lives, thriving communities, a fairer start, specifically in reference to the ongoing air pollution and odour nuisance from the old Southall Gasworks site.
1) Why was there no Equalities Impact Assessment, taking into account the local area's existing economic and health inequalities?
2) Why weren't local residents informed about the risks (including potentially fatal genetic vulnerability of some Asian and Black people to naphthalene poisoning) beforehand?

From the Southall Big Plan AGM in 2017.

Some perennial problems that our elected representatives seem to be unable - or unwilling - to do anything about.

Some things never change! Image

Look at these bricks! Image
Is 2500:

A) The year the new cinema in Ealing will finally be opened to the public?

B) The price of a return flight to Nice airport and five nights in Cannes?

C) The number of genuinely affordable homes to be built by Ealing Council in the four years 2018-22?
GAH! Image
